I put a 55 lb sack of 80 grit AO in my 1000 lb tumbler and ran it for 20 days, it came out almost polished, I just had to run it through a vibe polish for a day or two and it was finished.

Some of those put up a page that looks like paypal and you have to log in. If you do that you have just given the scammer your paypal login and password. Usually if its too good to be true, it is. Tony

The HP agate eater blade takes a bit to break in, thus it is grinding more material than the old worn blade. Grinding more material creates more pressure on the vise, when it gets too much pressure the spring lets it slip over a tooth to keep it from going too fast and ruining something.
You either need to get the blade broken in or add more spring pressure to your feed dogs.

You need continuous duty, intermittent duty will not work, you will get stop and start marks on your slabs.

Dayton 52JE07 if you want CCW Dayton 52JE17 if you want CW Both are 4 rpm
The only speed control the LS12 had was the switch on the left, you had to sit and babysit it, if it ran too fast you flipped the switch to turn the feed motor off and let the saw catch up, then turned it back on.

They are good people, since Covid the pay dig sites have been closed and only the rock shop is open.
They have tons and tons of rock there, which is probably why they can offer better prices, most of the people selling online that are double their price are probably buying from there or someplace similar.

Most hardware stores have a few bearings in stock, pick out a small one and find a bolt that fits in the center of it, drill a hole for the bolt so that the edge of the bearing will be the right distance into the tumbler. Bolt it on and viola! you are good to go.
Tony
PS- sometimes you will need to put a little washer or spacer underneath the bearing to keep it from rubbing on the frame. It all depends on the bearing you pick out.

It is riveted in, you can drill it out and re-rivet or put a screw in the hole. Or you can just mount a regular bearing on that end and the bearing will roll instead of wear out.
